Greg And Silvia
We are Silvia & Greg, both entrepreneurs with a passion for hospitality, Mexico, real estate, and always looking to create amazing guest experiences. On a vacation trip to Cozumel in 2008, we immediately knew we had to move! It was a time in our lives to listen to that little voice in our heads. We regrouped to lead a saner life. We love meeting new people from different walks of life, but as hosts, we give our guests all the space they want.
Silvia has extensive knowledge of the travel and resort industry from her time spent with Vista Del Mar Boutique Hotel, Cozumel Bar Hop tours, Odyssey Tours, and Royal Holiday Club. My background as a former restaurant owner helps me offer outstanding customer service.
We will always try to meet and go beyond your expectations. If you have suggestions for us, please let us know!
Some great features we have are because of the inspirations of other guests that stayed with us. They had interesting ideas and communicated with us!
Hope to see you.
